I love coming to isla cafe the food is always good and the drinks always get you lit. I love the vibe and the atmosphere the best nights to come are Fridays and Saturdays. The staff and servers are great especially the bartender (Mel) who always makes sure to check in to make sure you’re enjoying yourself and have a drink in your hand. I recommend this spot to anyone visiting the Bronx or in the neighborhood looking for a good and chill time.

As a Customer who has been coming to Isla Cafe for years. I can say that the food, staff, hookah and vibes are always amazing. My favorite bartender is my girl Melissa she is a staple at Isla Cafe always with a smile on her face and always great energy. she has been working there for years and she is one of my favorite bartenders. Go and check it out you wont be disappointed.

Food is fire. So glad that they deliver to my house. Had the bistec encebollado with white rice and beans and ate the whole plate. I remember going to La Isla when they first opened and the food is just as delicious as it was back then. Only thing is I wished i was there to have a drink to wash the food down with.

It's a great place if you plan to host an event or party. The owner and lead bartender Mel (manager?) are amazing and very accomodating. Always a great time and the music is bumping, the baked chicken is SO GOOD and the service is great!!

We had my husband’s 60th birthday celebration and it was such an awesome experience. Intimate setting with staff being very attentive to our guests. Owner, Candice communicated with me throughout and everything was perfect!

It was pretty cool. Only downside for me is that their chicken was flavorless. I ordered chicken wings regular but at least expected to have some flavor. But overall I absolutely loved their drinks! The Hennything possible was pretty good. And their incredible hulks.

This is bar smelled like bar I guess the humidity I was impressed by the food,it was good, I finished everything it was yummy.

Decent place to hang out and have fun. On the weekends it gets a bit to ghetto for my taste but during the week they do specials and events such as game night. Food is pretty decent depending on what you order. Bartenders are okay could use some training on making drinks. Security was friendly and the manager was friendly as well. The DJ played a mix of Latin, Caribbean, hip-hop, R&B, and house. Overall I would come back depending on what events/ specials are going on.

Great fun vibes , dj is a ball of fun , friendly staff , hookah lounge,picaderas and drinks 🍹 are not so bad ,but the chicken wings were my least favorite/ street parking

This shouldn’t be a restaurant just a bar with friends, I walked in and sat at the bar waited almost 30 minutes for a drink and over 2hrs for food… the tall bartender had her back turned towards me on her phone and when she would get off the phone she would only serve what looked like her friends in the corner. I have heard good things about this place but I was very disappointed. The food was cold when it finally came out, service horrible.

Matt Tucker

Bartender Melissa is very rude! Very unprofessional! Disgusting attitude! Doesn’t need to be working in this field if she doesn’t know how to properly approach paying customers correctly. More focused on smoking vape and talking to People at the end of the bar lounging around than to actual customers.

Burned food made the experience less than pleasurable. Staff is friendly, drinks are decent but I am really disappointed in the food. Either oil was old, or someone forgot to oversee my meals. Won’t go back, even if it’s the last place to eat.

i went here yesterday and i didn’t feel welcome long wait for food wasn’t good, hookah wasn’t done well and was over priced & the waitress brought wrong food to our table and took long to come with mine. looks like she had to much drinks while working, it was uncomfortable.

The server we got seemed to be too busy chatting with co workers and smoking hookah the whole time. My friend & I ordered our drinks I simply ordered a soft drink & I never got it. My friend ordered a blue isla drink & I was so deprived from waiting I asked the next person who passed by to get me the same drink as my friend. Also the food came out an hour late and was very dry & bad. I barely ate it my friend also said their food wasn’t great. I asked them for an extra lil garlic container & they gave me a big one never told me it was an extra charge. Also the server came out of nowhere bringing my friend and I another round of blue isla drink that we never asked for we didn’t even drink it because one was fine we didn’t want another drink I’m thinking it’s on the house cause who brings out drinks if we never ordered them, next thing u know it was on our bill, they were so slick they did that to every table so beware!!! Also she lied about happy hours so I just let it go but I should’ve known it was a red flag from the jump, horrible customer service, long wait, bad food, I wouldn’t come here again just because of this experience!!!
